President Bola Tinubu is charged with presenting a falsified degree certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in advance of the election, according to a lawyer for PDP presidential contender Atiku Abubakar.
The lawyer, Kalu Kalu, said this on Thursday during a press conference held by Atiku after the Chicago State University released the President’s academic records to him.
Although the President and his supporters have denied the allegations, Mr Kalu explained that the released document backs the forgery claims.
Asked what the documents show, he said, “One, that Bola Ahmed Tinubu forged the certificate he presented to INEC. That, two, that the qualifying certificate from South West College to Chicago State University bears a female name indicating that that document does not belong to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Three, the Chicago State University admission form has a claim that Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended Government College Lagos and graduated in 1970 when indeed the school was established in 1974.
“The same document has it that the owner of that document is a black American and (in) the document Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted to INEC, he denied having dual citizenship which means it does not belong to him. Then, the same document, oral deposition, said the A in Bola A Tinubu is Ahmed but the NYSC certificate Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted to INEC has Adekunle. I don’t know where Adekunle emerged from.”
